"Glute mornings" are based on the traditional good morning "lower back" exercise that are a staple of the powerlifting community. You begin your setup in the Smith machine the same way as you would for a conventional good morning, but before you do your first rep, you step back as far you can, holding onto the bar so you don't plant your face. In many ways, it's a lot like a top-loaded kettlebell swing or hip thrust, only it allows you to defy gravity because you're able to hold onto the fixed bar. Doing so creates a longer lever arm than what you'd experience in a traditional good morning. It also focuses more on the glutes and hamstrings, allowing you to maintain constant tension on them. – TC Luoma (Model: Bri Alexander)
